1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to articles of wear for women and girls, and the main object is the provision of a protector for the protection of ladies hosiery on legs against rain, mud, or soiling in general, as well as against excess spot Wear, in addition to protection for bare leg makeup.
The above broad as well as additional and more specific objects will become apparent in the following description, wherein characters of reference refer to like-numbered parts on the accompanying drawing.
Referring briefly to the drawing,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the pro tector being worn on the legs.
Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view of the protector without the slide fastener and instep cover piece.
Fig. 3 is a view showing the instep cover piece.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating one form of a suitable elastic band adapted to engage under the shank of the shoe, but any suitable strap and snap-fastener may be used instead.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates the complete hosiery protector, which comprises body I l shaped in the fashion of hosiery to the conformation of the leg. The body H is of knee length and terminates at the top in a suitable elastic band [2. A seam 13 runs the full length of the body ll on the back, as in stockings, and utilizes a narrow strip of synthetic rubber or plastic composition throughout its length.
A slit [4 is provided alo the outer side of the leg and is so out as to permit application thereto of a slide fastener 15 provided with the grip l6 for operation of the slide fastener in the wellknown manner.
An instep cover piece of the shape shown in Fig. 3 at IT is joined to the forward lower extremity of the body ll along its concave edge 18 by means of a, suitable seam 19.
At the proper positions in the instep piece 11,
a suitable elastic 20 is attached to the side edges of the piece 11, to serve the purpose of engaging under the shank of the shoe or the foot of the wearer. Along the bottom of the protector, a binding 2! preferably of the same material as a bias binding is provided, Wide enough to cover the cloth on the slide fastener.
The protector is preferably made of synthetic rubber or plastic composition or similar material,
with all seams electronically sealed, and the cutting of the parts shall be in accordance with good tailoring practice. The protector shall be made in three general sizes, small, medium, and large, both as to girth and length, thus conforming to sizes in general. If desired, a, series of snap fasteners might be substituted for the slide fastener.
A hosiery protector made as above set forth may be readily slipped on or off when and as desired, and when worn serves the purposes stated. It can be manufactured inexpensively and marketed to serve a real need.
I claim:
A stocking protector comprising a form-fitting knee-length stocking-like member except for the foot made of a smooth soft pliable water repellant material, adapted to be drawn over the leg, the upper end of the member having an elastic band thereon, the lower end of the member being open, the forward portion of said lower end having an instep cover piece thereon and a seam joining said instep piece thereto, said instep piece being adapted to cover the instep of the wearer, the outer side of said member having a slit extending upward from said lower end to a point near said upper end and having closure means for said slit, means for retaining said instep piece down against the instep of the wearer, said means comprising an elastic loop having the ends thereof secured to opposite sides of said instep piece intermediate the length of the latter, said member having a seam extending the full length of the back thereof, and a strip of said material covering said last-named seam.
